How ranks and points work
Short version: a rank gives you a kit every 24 hours plus a tag and a few perks. There are four, and each one includes everything from the ranks below it. Boosters are separate add-ons: faster points, or the command pack.
Subscribe, or don't
Monthly and yearly ranks are subscriptions, and the yearly one gives you two months free. Cancel any time from the PayNow portal and you keep the rank until the paid period ends. If you'd rather not have anything renew, buy a one-time kit token instead. It gives you that rank's full kit once, whenever you type /redeem in game. Tokens never expire and survive wipes, so you can save one for the start of a wipe.
They stack
Odin gets the Odin, Thor, Loki and Heimdall kits every day. You don't buy all four. Buy the one you want.
Boosters are add-ons
A points booster (2X, 5X or 10X) multiplies the points you earn for time online, and Skin Box and More unlocks /skin, /upall and /up. They work with any rank or with no rank. Monthly and yearly are subscriptions like the ranks; the 7-day option is a one-time pass. Points boosters don't stack with each other, the biggest one you own counts.
Points reach the same place
Everyone earns 2 points every 30 minutes online. Every rank kit is also for sale in /shop for points: Heimdall is 150, Loki 350, Thor 700 and Odin 1,400. A regular who plays a lot gets the same gear as a buyer. That's the deal.
What ranks never do
Nothing we sell unlocks paid Facepunch DLC or paid skins. /skin only uses free workshop skins. That's Facepunch's rule for every community server, and we follow it.
